@GottaLaff not sure how the line of questioning that demonstrates “Trump organization surely employs a lots of crooks” can go well with the Jury…

Bela Dixit is talking about the upgrades to the Finnish Metsahovi radio telescope. Many similarities to our upgrade, but for a single dish system.

The IRAM 30m was inaugurated 40 years ago! 6000h/year of observing time!

So, it’s time for an upgrade…

Miguel Sánchez-Portal said that they’ve been closed for 11 months for this upgrade, plus 2-3 months for the surface repainting. #IRAM #IRAM30m #ATRASC2024 #URSI

Radio Astronomy in Spain started with the host-country time observations from Riu et al. (University of Barcelona) of a radio source occulted by the moon. #ATRASC2024 #URSI

Ha aparecido por mi casa una Wii Fit, qué pena que solo funciona con la Wii. No sé si nadie la querrá, aún se sigue usando la Wii?

@carola si mal no recuerdo, sirve para la Wii U también… y no sé si para la Nintendo switch.

Quick ranking of the new iPad Pro set in terms of “ooh, this is notably better than the thing that came before”

1. Magic Keyboard - markedly better…like really better

2. iPad Pro - OLED is slick

3. Pencil Pro - squeeze to bring up markup tools is cool, but basically the same otherwise so far

juandesant, 4 days ago

@matt what about the dynamic shadows? Those look helpful and neat…

juandesant, 1 day ago

@matt when you hover on an application using PencilKit, a shadow is digitally formed that reflects both the tool and its orientation on M4 iPad Pro… see for instance https://mastodon.social/@b3ll/112453001360323961

I just watched my wife tap a button on her Mac’s screen 3 times before going “oh yeah, still getting used to that”

I’m just saying…

Tengo muchas ganas de volver a jugar al X-Wing. Es una pena que no haya una reedición para la Nintendo Switch.

@runjaj X-Wing y TIE Fighter eran geniales… lástima que eran solo para PC en mi época.

Linux question:

In bash, I can write:
(cd .. && ls)
and it will run "ls" in the parent directory, but after the command executes I will not have CD'd. The CD is confined in the subshell in the ().

If I try this same command in the alternate shell "fish", it prints the error "command substitutions not allowed here" and nothing is executed. Is there a fish equivalent of "run this single line of commands in a rubber-room subshell whose variables and pwd do not escape"?

juandesant, 4 days ago

@mcc just tested in iSH after installing fish with apk add fish:

localhost:~# fish -c "ls"  
juandesant.rss  
localhost:~# fish -c "echo $(fish -c ls)"  
juandesant.rss  
localhost:~# fish -c "$(fish -c ls)"  
fish: Unknown command: juandesant.rss  
fish:   
juandesant.rss  

juandesant.rss is the only file in that directory.

Apple has accomplished one thing with the Files app: it’s made people a lot less critical of the Finder.

juandesant, 4 days ago (edited 4 days ago)

@dustinrue @drdrang @viticci and just a bit short of 13 years after Lion was released, I learn that there is Command-Option-V for “Move item(s) here”.

BTW, the Finder's Edit menu can be used… but you still need to at least be pressing the Option key.

I also just found out that you can right-click (or Control-click) on the destination, and press Option to get the “Move item(s) here”.

juandesant, 4 days ago

@dustinrue @drdrang @viticci and I just learned that such thing exists already… since Mac OS X Lion (10.7)!
